"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

"It Won't Be Long Now" from In the Heights
"Totally F*cked" from Spring Awakening (I'm not trying to be snarky, I just feel Totally F*cked sometimes. Really, who CAN'T relate to that song in some way).
blaax, I laughed out loud... as usual. You are my comedy god.

The monologue prior to, and then "Music and the Mirror" (although my Music and Mirror are something different)
"Who I'd Be" and "Being Alive" are close behind.

I remember for quite a bit of time, "The Wizard and I" from Wicked (especially the second verse) summed up how I felt about life. So did "It Won't Be Long Now" from In The Heights.
But now, (somewhat ironically) "I Got Life" from Hair- now sung by the oh-so-loveable Gavin Creel- is slowly becoming a mantra to me. I love it =)

I was hanging out at the local Starbucks that I started working at yesterday. Today I was hanging out there talking with my other co workers when I was done for the day. I stepped outside to have a smoke and I swore I thought I saw walking down the street this girl who was my first crush when I was in the fifth grade. I did a double take and I was right. I went back into the store and a little while later she came in and the song that was playing in my head was Talk To Her from Big. I don't know why, but talking to her made me feel like that giddy fifth grader talking to the beautiful popular girl once again and gave me that feeling which was one that I hadn't had since...well since I was in the fifth grade.

Posted: 7/2/09 at 10:38pmI'm gonna be cliche and say "Broadway Baby", but I'll also go out on a limb and say "No Matter What" from BatB. My dad and I both have our quirks, but we see potential in each other and love each other.

OK - it's OFF Broadway, but it's still very applicable. I keep trying but it's getting harder and harder....
